We Visited Hell...

Poem Artwork

We left NJ in a cooling breeze,

Fifties at night, wind blowing the trees,

Rufuz loved the cooler air,

Me too, as long as the weather stayed fair…

 

It stayed that way through Pa & Ohio,

But as soon as we crossed into Kentucky,

The temps did rise by a degree of ten,

Nineties in the day time it did from then…

 

Certainly bright sunlight but oh so hot,

We met the devil, he was cooking his crop,

We stayed in the air-conditioning quite alot,

Home we got after another 18 hour drive,

Now we got to catch up on sleep,

Then down to the ocean for cooling dive…

I would think that someone called The Jersey Devil would be required to visit Hell periodically to get orders from his Boss!!

As I was reading this, I heard the melody to "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" and Charlie Daniels was reciting your poem. We cooled off this weekend. Loved it. That dive must have felt great. H.S.H...

So much for my old Kentucky home. I'm always up for a cooling breeze, a cool dip, and an ice cold "Blue Moon". The muttlies bought me a few for father's day. Welcome back.

Welcome back to the cool breezes (and occasional rain), Ed.
Now you and Rufuz can romp on the beach, skim shells on the
surf. Enjoy. The temp here in S. Jersey won't reach the 90s
for another week. -gene.

There's a man we all know from the east
Traveling to him is a feast
We know him as Ed
And when all has been said
He'll travel until all has ceased
